Just following law of the lanes

September 21, 2008|Alex Daley, Fort Lauderdale

Dear driver: I apologize my bicycle and I in front of you in the left-hand turn lane on 15th Avenue at Las Olas Boulevard caused you to have to wait an additional 30 seconds. Your continuous honking at me certainly made me aware of your presence. According to Florida Statutes, Section 316.2065, however, bicycles are considered vehicles and we must obey all traffic laws. Next time, instead of honking at the cyclist obeying the law, you should contact your elected official to let him or her know that you disagree with Section 316.2065.
